You can buy but...

If this specific laptop model is not sold in Sri Lanka, then you cannot claim any warranty in Sri Lanka. So if there are any repairs or support involved in the future, you've to fly all the way to Singapore for claiming the free warranty support.

Thanks for reply... any different between srilanka store and singapore store dear friend... I mean product quality ....

[visruth]

Product quality is the same. All the models are manufactured by HP whether it us Singapore or Sri Lanka.

As i heard european quality is doesent came here... asian quality and european quality is different.... am i right mate ? so can u plz tell singapore productes is equal to european quality ? if not how can i buy european quality product ? is any way to do that ?
Kind Regards...

I would not agree with that.

If you go through the complaints here in forum for eg., about hinges, build quality regarding certain Envy, older dv6 models, there is no distinction whether it is from US, UK or Asia.

So all the product has similar quality whether it is best or worst, regardless of area of market.

Thanks for reply Friend..... but with my experience asia products cannot heavy use. its certified by our hp  authorized deales. they recommend european products... so i will try to get european  hp product with global warranty...

Regards....

You are welcome.

Even if you're buying from Europe with global warranty, that product may not be serviced under warranty in your country:

"HP Global Warranty covers HP products at the level of standard warranty offered in the country in which it is used. For example, a product purchased in country "A" and moved to country "B" receives the current warranty coverage provided by country "B" (if that product is marketed or supported in country B)."

@RumalFernando

Buy it in Asia, Africa, America or Europe???

That is not where it was manufactured and it was not manufactured for just that region.
